Gold price outlook
: Gold prices have experienced substantial decline, dropping approximately 7% from their highest point of Rs 99,358/10 grams recorded on April 22 on the MCX. The precious metal is currently at risk of ending below the 50-day moving average, something not seen since December.
But where are gold prices headed and what should investors do if the gold rate dips to Rs 88,000 per 10 grams?
According to Axis Securities, gold is currently testing the lower range of a 50-day moving average envelope (+3%), which has provided support during all decreases since November 2024.
The firm has identified May 16 to May 20 as a vital period for possible trend changes. Their analysis indicated $3,136 as an essential support level in international markets, suggesting that if prices fall below this point, they could potentially decline towards the $2,875-$2,950 range, according to an ET report.

Axis Securities has observed that gold prices are exhibiting pressure amid significant macro changes, raising concerns about potential further decline if prices fall below a crucial support level.
The firm has noted that reduced expectations for US Federal Reserve rate cuts have affected the demand for secure investments like gold. Additionally, diminished concerns about trade-war impacts on growth have led to increased bond yields, reducing gold's attractiveness.

The firm pointed out that gold's lack of yield, combined with increasing interest rates, is diminishing its appeal as an investment option.
Will Gold Prices Dip To Rs 88,000?
Augmont's Head of Research Renisha Chainani believes that gold prices are experiencing significant pressure due to ongoing geopolitical issues and reduced market demand.
According to her analysis, "Gold prices bounced up about $100 (Rs 1,500) from their intraday lows as investors appeared to be shifting back to safe-haven assets due to a slowdown in the pace of discussions between Russia and Ukraine and less-than-expected US data".
She identified potential opportunities for investors during this period of market pressure.
She further stated, "As gold prices have broken the Double-top neckline support of $3200, more downside is expected up to $3000-50 (Rs 87,000 - 88,000) in the short term," suggesting that whilst current trends appear negative, there could be opportunities for long-term investors at reduced price points.
The analysis from Augmont indicates substantial downside risk in the technical assessment of gold.
Their report establishes support at Rs 92,000/10 gm and resistance at Rs 94,000/10 gm for Indian gold. Despite this confined trading range, the overall market sentiment suggests possible further price reductions.

Prithviraj Kothari, Managing Director of RiddiSiddhi Bullions, expresses a moderately positive outlook, noting that gold's fundamental strengths remain stable despite present market adjustments.
"While gold's long-term fundamentals are fundamentally intact, a short-term view of its price trajectory remains vulnerable to macroeconomic sea-changes. Investors still need to be especially attentive to what plays out globally with a diversified strategy in the event of a price downside tail," he said.
Kothari cautioned about the possibility of significant price adjustments should worldwide economic recovery exceed current projections.
"Nonetheless, a steep correction could also be on the horizon. If global economies start to see speedier recoveries, signaling the end of the necessity of risk-off trades, gold could slip downward to the $3000-$3050 range," he added.

Asian stocks rise as China-US trade talks raise hopes; investors watch for breakthrough on tariffs; oil edges up
Asian stocks mostly rose on Tuesday as investors looked ahead to ongoing China-US trade talks that could help ease recession fears. A second day of negotiations was set after US and Chinese officials met in London to discuss key trade issues, with hopes of reaching a deal to roll back high tariffs. Japan's Nikkei 225 climbed 1% to 38,473.97, while South Korea's Kospi rose 0.9% to 2,881.40. The Hang Seng index in Hong Kong rose 0.2% to 24,242.03, and Shanghai's Composite index gained 0.1% to 3,403.51. Taiwan's Taiex recorded a 2% increase. The S&P/ASX 200 in Australia moved up 0.7% to 8,578.50. Earlier n Monday, the S&P 500 saw a modest 0.1% increase to 6,005.88, positioning it within 2.3% of its February peak. The Dow Jones Industrial Average experienced a minimal decline of 1 point to 42,761.76, whilst the Nasdaq composite increased 0.3% to 19,591.24. The S&P 500's recovery from its 20% decline two months ago has been supported by expectations that President Donald Trump will reduce tariffs following trade agreements with various nations. The index has recovered beyond its position prior to Trump's comprehensive tariff announcement in April on what he termed "Liberation Day." Tesla showed signs of recovery following recent losses.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru stake sale on cards? Diageo weighs options in IPL winner RCB; may seek valuation of $2 billion
RCB, an original IPL franchise with Virat Kohli as one of its key players, was first owned by Vijay Mallya. (PTI photo) Diageo Plc is exploring options regarding its ownership of the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), the Indian Premier League cricket franchise, according to individuals knowledgeable about the situation. RCB achieved their maiden IPL victory recently. RCB, an original IPL franchise with Virat Kohli as one of its key players, was first owned by Vijay Mallya, who ran the now-defunct Kingfisher Airlines Ltd. that ceased operations in 2012. The team subsequently came under Diageo's ownership following their acquisition of Mallya's spirits operations. Diageo, the UK-based spirits company, has initiated consultations with potential advisers to evaluate various options, including the possible stake sale of a portion or the entirety of the club, according to a Bloomberg report. Through its Indian subsidiary, United Spirits Ltd., Diageo could value the franchise at approximately $2 billion, according to these individuals quoted in the report. The sources indicated that the final decision remains pending and the company might opt to retain ownership. On Tuesday morning, United Spirits' shares rose by up to 3.3% in Mumbai trading, reaching a five-month peak following reports of the potential transaction. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Good News: You May Be Richer Than You Think Undo These developments coincide with the Indian health ministry's efforts to prohibit the promotion of tobacco and alcohol brands in the IPL, alongside restricting sports personalities from indirect endorsement of other unhealthy products, the report said. In India, direct advertising of tobacco and alcohol products is forbidden, although companies like Diageo have marketed alternative products such as soda using prominent cricket players. The increasing value of IPL teams has transformed them into highly desirable sports investments. A potential sale could establish new pricing standards for future transactions in this rapidly expanding sports league. The IPL has developed into a significant entertainment and advertising platform, comparable to the National Football League and English Premier League in commercial value. Its condensed, three-hour matches attract vast audiences across India and internationally. Diageo faces challenges in its primary market, the US, where tariffs and reduced consumer spending affect premium spirits sales. A potential sale could provide capital whilst the company focuses on core operations and evaluates its global asset portfolio, the report said.
